GamerDad: Dark Void Zero Review
GamerDad writes: "Dark Void is a recently released Capcom game for the big consoles, and to drum up interest for it, they did something incredibly clever: promote the game with an 8-bit DSiWare download called Dark Void Zero. I don’t have any interest in the main Dark Void game, but I’d have to say that Dark Void Zero is probably more fun, especially if you’re a classic Capcom NES fan!
Anyway, the "history" behind Dark Void Zero is that it was supposedly a scrapped 8-bit game from Capcom that was ‘lost’ in the vaults. It was going to be used in Nintendo’s PlayChoice 10 arcade cabinets to use the dual screen. But as 8-bit gave way to 16-bit, the project was scrapped. But now, the idea behind the game has been redone in a new 3-D action game, and they’ve ‘re-released’ the classic game on DSiWare."
